BB61 Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Stepping in front of the firing squad again. This is for the True North Football Federation. I decided to revive the Québec Aces, who were the Flyers' affilate in the American Hockey League when they came into the NHL in 1967.I wanted to get away from making another Nordiques like crossover (as much as I love and miss the Nordiques and those kickass bleu-et-blanc looks with the fleur-de-lis all over them), and used the Aces old colors -- black, green, and red. I used the spade predominately because the Ace of Spades is, for some reason, the most predominate (odd, isn't it?)C&C welcome, as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampman Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 I think the homes would look better in red or green with black as more of a trim colour--or if they stayed black--if there was mor black on the sleeve...Maybe a different colour helmet shell with a black spade as well...But I really like the road unis!

bulldogbarks55 Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 Big Brain-Great job. I'm probably one of the few people on this board who actually saw the real As de Quebec play. I saw them many times against the Amerks. Quick trivia- Quebec was supposed to play at Rochester on Nov. 22, 1963. It was cancelled because of the death of President Kennedy. I had tickets for that game.On to your concept- I like the way you put the queen with the ace on the sleeves- "Q-A"- ingenious.You need more stripe color on the pants. The Aces wore red pants when I saw them, and either green or white sweaters. The green shirts had red numbers trimmed in white. The white shirts had a three-color UCLA shoulder insert of green, red and black. The white socks had green on the knees.Try a green jersey with red pants. When the As hooked up with the Flyers in '67 they got a new logo, the winged-Q with the four symbols in the circular part (it's on logo server, I believe). Pretty bad. Almost as bad as the Amerks circular Vancouver crest of '70-'71 and '71-'72.I like your ideas. Tweak 'em a bit and you've got a winner. But I still like "Aces" as a hockey name.GO LEAFS GO!

Dilbert Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Nice fleur de lis on the playing cards I like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgesL Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 I like the name choice, and the fleur-de-lis.Even though I support Quebec teams, I honestly think the colours are too busy. I don't think green would fit anywhere with the colour scheme, but the red and black are OK.I tell you it would be great if TNFF had 2 teams in Quebec province. I can sure use a natural rival.
